Join the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Division of Long Term Services and Supports for the webinar, “1915(i) HCBS State Plan Option: Requirements for Needs-Based Criteria and State Option to Target Benefit.”

This webinar will discuss the role Developmental Disabilities (DD) Councils play in leading systems change within communities across the country, innovative employment initiatives from DD Councils in the states of California and South Carolina, and the value of partnering with a DD Council in your state to advance employment opportunities and outcomes for people with DD.

Health plan presenters will share best practices on how they overcame common barriers to members’ EAC participation, including transportation, cultural, and technological barriers, as well as skepticism regarding the impact of such a committee.

Every March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) and its partners collaborate to lead Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM). The campaign highlights how people with and without disabilities come together to form strong communities. It raises awareness of the inclusion and contributions of people with DD in all aspects of community life, and it's a time to explore the work we still need to do to remove barriers.
